banana walnut chocolate chip muffin

I was feeling pretty lazy this morning, and hey I'm on vacation so it's allowed! We didn't get out of bed until 9:30! I figured by the time I actually got moving and cooked something it would be almost lunch time. So I had a banana walnut chocolate chip muffin and a cutie!

Muffins!

This morning we had a couple slices of Applewood bacon, a banana, and lemon poppyseed muffins. Let me tell you when I made these muffins it took all my self control NOT to eat ALL of them! They taste so yummy I can't believe they're paleo! I will probably make slight adjustments to this recipe to make other muffins because it is by far the best!
